Hi,
I think that if you are sure about the architecture and the
installation Media, then go for 64bit. However I would PERSONALLY say
that do not try to go for 64 bit unless you are very sure about the
installation disk or architecture.
However, I have heard (though not tested it myself) that upgrading to
64 bit LATER ON may create complications.

Hi guys,
When I install openSUSE, how does it know whether it should install a 32-bit kernel or a 64-bit kernel?
Does any part of the installation reflect that?
The complication arises when the system originally has 2GB RAM but will later on be increased to 8GB RAM.
If the installed kernel had been 32-bit, is it possible to upgrade the whole installation to 64-bit to support the increase in RAM?
